This hair pin brings the enduring beauty of a spring blossom to life in solid steel. I began with a substantial 1" x 1/4" bar, carefully necking it down to create a strong, square-shank pin. From the remaining metal, I hand-forged a delicate, symbolic flower at the top—inspired by the graceful petals of a dogwood or evening primrose.

The process of drawing out the flower from the same piece of steel, rather than welding it on, ensures a seamless and incredibly strong connection. The pin itself is then elegantly tapered to a point, making it both functional and comfortable to wear. It's finished with a classic, durable beeswax blackening to let the beautiful floral form and fine hammer marks take center stage.

This piece is for those who appreciate fine craftsmanship and wear their love of nature with a touch of timeless, forged elegance.

The Details:

· Material: Hand-forged from a single piece of 1" x 1/4" steel bar.

· Feature: A flower (dogwood/evening primrose inspired) forged integrally from the top of the bar.

· Construction: The pin is necked down to a 1/4" square shank and then drawn out to a tapered point.

· Finish: Blackened with heat and beeswax for a rich, dark patina.

· Best For: This pin has a sturdy yet graceful presence, perfect for medium to thick hair.

Please note: As each flower is individually forged, the petal details will be unique, making your pin a one-of-a-kind piece of wearable art.
